Eric Prydz Announces Support for EPIC 5.0
Eric Prydz has just announced his support for his upcoming EPIC 5.0 show which is coming to the Creamfields Steelyard megastructure on May 27.
The show was first announced in November of last year and Prdyz has slowly been teasing glimpses into the inner workings of the show ever since. Today Prydz announced the support for the show and it is filled with all of Prydz’s favorites.
EPIC stands for Eric Prydz in Concert, and every show so far has been quite the epic spectacular to witness. For the 5.0 edition, Prydz is bringing an all-star lineup featuring Kölsch, George Fitzgerald, Cristoph, and Weska.
The crew has some close ties to the head honcho. Kölsch gained popularity with a remix of Prydz’s Generate, a single off of his previous album, Opus. Christoph recently went on tour opening for Prydz on his spring Pryda tour across the U.S. Weska, on the other hand, has had Prydz play a handful of his tracks during his sets. And rounding out the roster we have George Fitzgerald as a surprising treat on this lineup with his groovy deep house sets.
EPIC 5.0 has been completely sold out for months and unlike EPIC 4.0 it seems to be a one time show. With every passing date, we are inching closer to the monumental event and we will be sure to bring you the latest coverage on the show so stay tuned with us over at EDM Sauce!
EPIC 5.0 Lived Up To The Hype
The show went off exactly as anticipated on May 27, 2017, and reviews afterward described it as one of the standout dance music productions of that year, with Prydz’s signature HOLOSPHERE visual technology turning the Steel Yard into something closer to a sci-fi spectacle than a typical club night. The supporting lineup delivered too, with Kölsch and George Fitzgerald in particular winning over a crowd that had shown up almost entirely for Prydz himself.
The EPIC series as a whole has become one of the most respected touring concepts in dance music precisely because Prydz treats it as a genuine event rather than just a headline slot, building custom visuals and stage production specific to each edition rather than touring a standard rig. Selling out a show of this scale well in advance, in a city with as much dance music competition as London, says a lot about how much trust Prydz had built with fans by 2017, they knew an EPIC show would deliver something they couldn’t see anywhere else.
